Emine is Expecting!  She is due the 1st week of Feburary.  We are really looking forward to having Kangal puppies.

Emine is the Best Livestock Guard Dog !  She is friendly to people, reasonable, Trustworthy (that is what her name means) – yet very protective.  I trust her with my …..(flock’s)   life 🙂

These rams are GRASS FED ONLY!  NO GRAIN for these guys.

What shape are your sheep?

The best shape for grazing? rectangular!  Show animals are high on leg and tubular in body- but long legs just mean long necks (or they can’t reach the forages).  There are a lot of articles, and Gerald Fry has made a name for himself studying the efficiencies of grazing animals.   It turns out- the “folk art” pictures had it right- large rectangular bodies, short legs, short necks.

Eggplant and lamb kababs

Nothing like a home grown meal- but if you can’t grow all of it yourself, we would be happy to supply you with the lamb.
